Qkine transitioned to a fully animal origin-free (AOF) manufacturing process
Transitioning to animal origin-free manufacturing of growth factors is a crucial step toward more ethical, safe, and sustainable bioproduction methodologies.
This shift ensures the highest standards of safety, purity, and sustainability in bioproduction. By eliminating all animal-derived components, including heparin-based purification columns, we’re supporting ethical and cruelty-free biomanufacturing.
